Ionia County Wrestler of the Year: Portland’s Alex Young

Young, a junior, was the highest finisher among Ionia County wrestlers at last month’s Michigan High School Athletic Association individual state tournament at the Palace of Auburn Hills. He advanced to the championship match at 135 pounds in Division 3 before falling to unbeaten Nate Limmex of Grand Rapids Catholic Central. Young went 3-0 en route to the finals and posted upsets in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Young, who surpassed 100 career wins earlier this season and finished runner-up at regionals, was a state qualifier for the second straight year. He finished with a 34-9 overall record.
